The colour looks sprayed on, and the bottom whispers "i am a bottle". So my guess is that this a very recent item.

Hello Ivo and Michelle
Yes Ivo I also think it has been sprayed on and I agree it is some sort of bottle/vase.  What do you think would have been in it - not really something you could get down Tesco's. 
Michelle here are better pictures on a lighter background.  The measurements are hard to take because of the shape but stands approx 17.5cm tall and is roughly 15cm diameter, the rim is 5cm and the base 9cm.
Thank you

If there were something in it then there would be maker's marks and markings for conformity (contents) on the bottom; as it is purely decoration, this is not required.

Hi there
sorry it is as i though, you can get these in cheap shops like 'thing me bobs' and 'wilkingsons' generally around £1.99.. of course i could be completly wrong. They are purely as Ivo says for decoration, wouldnt have had anything in..
all the best
michelle
